Default Best 175/70 13 tires for stock rims?

I need to wrap my steelies for the next couple of months until I get new wheels. What kind of tires would everyone recomend in this size? I would like something with a low treadwear

Have you considered something a bit wider? Sumitomo makes those same tires posted above in a 195/60-13 size for $36. They also have a 185/60-13 for $29 each, which isn't as wide as the 195's, but is slightly smaller diameter for higher effective gearing and better acceleration.

Or a 20 inch tall tire helps with gearing.
